Aermacchi MB339-CB

NZ6470

Taken at Whenuapai, March 17, 2001. The panel on the starboard side of the fuselage allows access to the hydraulic services. (This can be seen open in image339ohk7 ). A remove-before-flight tag is attached to the ground safety pin preventing the panel from being closed, so the partially open panel is taped to secure it in the wind. The stencil on the panel reads:
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
- GROUND SAFETY PIN HOLE
- ZERO SETTING CONTROL
- GROUND SERVICING HAND PUMP
